FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER IA.

THE RESULT of the election in Newark,
N. J., last Tuesday, has apparently renewed
the New York democrats OF most oepress
ing fear. They are now hopeful Of success
Their late fear resulted from the possible
strenrth of the labor vote, but, as Newark
was great labor centre, and where the la
Dor party expected decisive victory gave
the labor ticket less than two thousand out
of vote of twenty-five thousand ana
elected the democratic ticket by satisiac'
tory vote, the fear OF a labor vote in New
York sufficiently large 10 OBJECT the loss the
republicans will probably sustain by the
prohibition vote, has been to great degree
dissipated, and it is now thought the demo
cratic State ticket will be elected. If that
ehall be 20 and Virginia shall also go demo
cratic. the denomination Of President CleVe'
land will be almost assured, and that, too
though nothing is better known than the fact
that his denomination would evoke no en-
thusiasm.

ton to address the democracy at Baltimore
reached me after the hour appointed for mt
to telegraph in order to prevent being an-
pounced as one of the speakers. l write
now to cay how sorry 1 am that a prior con-
flcting engagement for the date named,
and pressing public duties, made more ex-
acting by recent events here, will make it
impossible for me to accept. There are On
" Two political parties in this country.
Over one flies the flag of democracy whose
folds embrace the sovereignty of the people
From this source of power life is infused in
TO the executive, judicial and legislative de
partments, and its mission is to guide the
ship of the republic bv the chart furnished
by the forefathers, and preserve the liberties
of the people by resisting all encroach-
ments upon their constitutional rights,
whether by the executive or by the velvet
paws of the judiciary, or from usurpirg
legislative acts. Over the other flies the
flag of repubicsnism. whose folds represent
the accumulation Of force at the executive
head and tells of power transferred from the
people to tha judiciary aud legislative de-
partments In my humble opinion demo-
cratic reform, when necessary, should be
insisted upon inside the party, and not by
CO operation with those outside of it. Go
not know the iasue involved in Baltimore,
nor is it well always to interfere with Local
elections elsewhere. So fer as am person
ally concerned, have always stood up for
the maintenance of the democratic party,
